#MentorMonday started out with practical advice for your BIG dreams when Paul gave this tip for Twitter:

Depending on your posting frequency on Twitter, post more content, not less. Paul has increased his postings on the social media platform and has been getting about 100,000 click throughs per day! By tweeting at all times of the day he is seeing much better engagement on his quality content.

And then, drumroll please…

He also announced that his producer, Ella Rucker, is speaking at Social Media Week Lagos AND #MentorMonday alum Russ Terry, CEO of @CoachHostRadio, is a sponsor of #SMWMastermind at @SMWLagos. #MentorMonday is about building a community and we are grateful that we are supporting each other. Spreecast is also a proud sponsor of this huge step in growing the #MentorMonday family internationally.

Also, if you have signed up for Weekend Startup School, but haven’t gotten any response, please email Ella. The Weekend Startup School has been expanded so if you would still like to participate or need more info you can go to WeekendStartupSchool.com.

This week on #MentorMonday we welcomed on Ms. Angela Benton. Angela came on #MentorMonday to talk about how to define your mission and your vision for a better business and better life. How did Angela define her life and her business? She saw a need and made it her mission to help entrepreneurs. Angela brought diversity to Silicon Valley. As the founder and CEO of the NewME Accelerator program, Angela has accelerated hundreds of entrepreneurs. Since 2011, NewME entrepreneurs have raised over $17 million in venture capital funds. So it is safe to say that Angela has certainly defined success in Silicon Valley. (more…)

Let’s start this recap doing something different. Share in the comments what you did in 2014 for your business or your life in general that will set the stage for 2015 being all the better. You never know who will take your best of 2014 to make 2015 their best.

Now, to the #MentorMonday recap.

Paul started off the session in a new location which later played a part in one of the big surprises of the show. We lost him mid show and he had to be replaced with a #MentorMonday alum, Chris Burns.

To begin, Paul shared a story from the death bed of his uncle-in-law. This 78-year-old man revealed, “Man, this thing goes by fast.” And “this thing” is life.

So how do you make the most of this thing that goes so fast? Setting goals, staying focused, and rolling with the entrepreneurial, life, and technical punches that are dealt to you.

The first question (after who was drinking what, of course) out of the #MentorMonday box was, “Do you need goals?” And the answer was surprising.

Before clients of my agency begin the matchmaking phase, we first put them through several weeks of intensive coaching. Our focus during this pre-match time is to share effective dating strategies, review recent research, and most importantly, dispel myths! Over the years, I’ve heard just about everything, and I mean everythang! The following are the top 10 myths our female clients believed to be truths.

Our host, Paul C. Brunson, started off the night with maybe one of the biggest shocks in #MentorMonday history! In #MENTORMONDAY HISTORY! But you have to watch the show to find out what it was. (Spoiler alert: Red Stripe and Blue Moon may be heartbroken.)

He also took the time to remind us of one of the most phrases uttered on #MentorMonday. Yes, Chris Burns (who was in this week’s Spreecast audience) gave us this bit of wisdom and quite possibly the most retweeted #MentorMonday quote from his time on the #MentorMonday Entrepreneur Panel: simply, “Get money.”

But how do you “Get money”?

And just as important, if not more so, how do you monetize your business and then build several streams of revenue? Our #MentorMonday monetization panel with Tionna Smalls, Jullien Gordon, and Trent Shelton share how they do it.
